Brown sausage and drain excess fat and then slice the sausage thin. Mix all together, bring to a boil, reduce heat simmer for 30 to 40 minutes covered. GREEN PEPPER CUT INTO STRIPS (OPTIONAL) if using in the soup add the peppers during the last 1- minutes of cooking time.

There's something sexy to me about pasta. I have been doing Taste of Home's Comfort Food Diet, so there's no lack of pasta recipes there! Here's a really good recipe that is a change of pace from marinara/tomato sauce based pasta dishes. I hope you and the boyfriend like it! :) www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/Easy-Beef-Stroganoff

I second the roast chicken. You could also do fliet mignon, fish, or pork chops. Just depends on what you guys like. Cooking Light is my favorite source for recipes, and they offer a free database on their website.

My special "go to" meal is roast chicken. Buy a Perdue oven stuffer roaster, you can't mess it up because it has a pop up timer. Smear the bird with a bit of olive oil and lots of paprika. Roast some onion, sweet potatoes and celery too. Yummmm

You will have lots of left overs to make chicken salad, chicken fajitas, chicken soup etc etc

Hi, all! I've recently started trying my hardest to get back in shape..and my boyfriend and I both like to cook. What is your FAVORITE healthy date night meal to cook for your special someone? Fun and healthy!
